Re: Soil Reactivity "M-D" - Site Classification "P" 6Mar 13, 2013 8:42 am Just a note... Site works ended up coming to just over $15,500. We had allowed $12,500 so it wasn't too bad. Our main issue was a tree next door which was quite tall and was giving us some deep soil movement that required peers. st2013 Hi, I am new here...we also have our soil test with classification P and we are about to sign building contract but after doing some reading on this forum we felt a bit worry. Could anyone advise should we build or any future issue to build on such classification P ? our block is on the farm land. Thanks. Obviously don't go agreeing to any sort of contract that will lock you in until you have a final price. I've heard of total sire works equaling $50k+, that's not a surprise you want later when your locked in. I am not sure whether Perth has its own way of doing things in regards to this. Most of Perth has class A (sandy soil), except for some areas near rivers or hills. 2 13053 We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 37085 PM me your email. I have a build excavation calculator you can use based on your plans to double check what your builder is telling you. Cheers Simeon 1 10207 |
